This is the mixed media blog of James Foreman. He writes things.

Favorite topics include art, history, modern life, pop culture, dating, sex, atheism, science, stories, whimsy, magic, writing and self-deprecation.

You can read a fiction story he wrote in the bestselling Machine of Death anthology, a true story he wrote in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette or a funny thing he wrote for McSweeney's.

He's working on a novel. It's going okay.

Jesse Ventura on the View, not unlike putting the Incredible Hulk on Sesame Street. He’s a nutbag that I might vote for - mistrusts government, believes in individual rights, cares about his country - but I can’t look past his even nuttier beliefs about 9/11 (he doesn’t believe the established facts).

More to the point, he’s stomping across the media this week declaring waterboarding a crime and a deplorable act of torture completely at odds with the ideals of this country.

Stomp on, Jesse. You big, loud, lovable nutbag.
